The instant Lei Ming opened his mouth, sixty-four Star Ocean Commerce s already stood at the two sides of the cliff. When he finished speaking, each stage that was separated by a red line had two people standing in front of it, acting as the judge of the Martial Compet.i.tion.
Although the judge was already in position, the many Martial Warriors s looked at each other in dismay. However, this calm only lasted for a moment, and then many Martial Warriors s shot out from the crowd.
"Let me do it!" "Me!" I"ll go first! "
Similar shouts came up one after another, and one figure after another sped up. After a messy fight, three more Martial Warriors s appeared in the originally empty thirty-two arenas, and the ones who were even slower than them could only stop outside the arenas in frustration, waiting for the next round.
"Everyone, please show your number plates!"
Lei Ming shouted loudly once again.
In the arena, nearly a hundred Martial Warriors s all revealed their small wooden plates that they received when registering. On them, their registration numbers were engraved.
"Begin!"
After a while, with Lei Ming"s explosive shout, 32 intense battles broke out one after another. In an instant, the entire fighting arena was filled with intersecting neon lights and Strength Qi s, while rumbling sounds continuously rang out.
"I"ve heard that this round"s martial arts compet.i.tion is a three-man free-for-all. I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn"t expect it to be true."
"This method is rather interesting. Not only can it increase the speed of martial compet.i.tion, it can also pick out the Martial Warriors s with more outstanding strength to enter the second round."
"That"s right, if he can"t even fight one against two, what qualifications would he have to compete for the top one hundred?"
"It"s over, it"s all over. This time, I probably won"t even make it through the first round." d.a.m.n, this Star Ocean Commerce is really messing around, this kind of martial arts compet.i.tion is not fair at all. "
"Quick, look at this arena number two. That guy in white was really amazing. Even though the two of them had teamed up, they were still forced into a corner by him."
"..."
Everyone was either praising, cursing, or commenting on the performance of the numerous Martial Warriors in the compet.i.tion arena.
Suddenly, a burst of deafening shouts erupted from the right side of the crowd, immediately attracting the gazes of everyone. In the most right side of the arena, which had the number "32" written on it, there was a black clothed man standing upright with his sword retracted. Outside of the red line, there were two other young men lying on the ground.
"Number 2534, victory!"
Beneath the cliff, a middle-aged man who was the referee immediately called out loudly, "Friend, please come rest here first."
When the black clothed man heard him, he left the martial arena expressionlessly and walked towards the direction pointed by the middle-aged man at an unhurried pace. There was also an area surrounded by red lines, obviously reserved for the Martial Warriors s who had won the first round of battles.
"Who is this person?" "He"s that powerful?"
"With just two strikes, he managed to injure two Stage Five Martial Master s. I"m afraid that his strength has already reached the peak of the fifth step, no?"
"This guy looks very unfamiliar. I wonder what his background is?"
"..."
Everyone could not help but exclaim, the speed of the black clothed man was too fast, in just a few breaths of time after the start of the compet.i.tion, he had already defeated two Stage Five Martial Master s and obtained the qualifications to partic.i.p.ate in the next round.
At this moment, among the remaining thirty-one battles, there were quite a few people who already held the upper hand. However, compared to this man in black, those people were nothing.
With such a powerful Stage Five Martial Master, if he were to often stay at Feng Ming Mountain, he would have long ago made a name for himself. But now, no one was able to call out his name. His number plate was extremely large, and was most likely the name he had reported yesterday. Presumably, he had just arrived at Feng Ming Mountain.
Just as everyone was shocked, another three Martial Warriors s ran in. The second battle of the 32nd Arena had already begun.
Time flew. The battle ended, another battle began, and the compet.i.tion continued like a raging fire.
In the resting areas on both sides of the arena, the number of Martial Warriors that had won increased.
Martial Warriors, who was the first to emerge victorious, would appear from time to time. Every time he appeared, it would cause a deafening shout, especially when the Stage Five Martial Master was a very young, handsome man or woman.
Unknowingly, it was already noon.
"There aren"t many people who have yet to partic.i.p.ate in the martial arts compet.i.tion. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d Tang Long, Lu Lore, that little girl and that Tang Si guy all pa.s.sed the first round, I have to hurry too. " At the edge of the spectating crowd, Gu Ying was already itching to give it a try, "Little sister, you better stay here and don"t wander around, understand?"
"Understood, understood."
Gu Fei answered without thinking, but his eyes were still rolling around as he muttered to himself, "Where did that Tang Huan guy go?"
"Who did you say?" Gu Ying could not help but ask.
"Of course it"s Ye Ze." Gu Fei was shocked, and did not dare to look at Gu Ying. She had unconsciously called out Tang Huan"s name just now.
"Ye Ze?"
Gu Ying looked at Gu Fei suspiciously, his lips moving slightly, but before he could even finish, the question that was about to come out of his mouth was swallowed back, "Little sister, I"m going over!" After throwing that sentence, Gu Ying"s muscular body turned into a red light and shot out.
"Whoos.h.!.+"
In the next moment, Gu Ying overtook a middle-aged man who was about to cross the red line and rushed into the fighting arena number 32 which already had two Martial Warriors s. The middle-aged man was so angry that his face was ashen, but he could only retract his right leg that he had just stepped out, and cursed.
Gu Fei heaved a sigh of relief and looked over.
The battle between Gu Ying and the two opponents had already started very quickly. Gu Fei only took a glance before completely calming himself down, and the two pairs of eyes once again searched the crowd, and he couldn"t help but feel anxious. The entire morning was about to pa.s.s, and that fellow still hadn"t appeared, could it be that something really happened?
"Du Xi, how many people have been invited, how many have been sent, and how many have been victorious?" In front of the Phoenix Spirit Valley"s entrance pa.s.sage, under the wooden shed, a clear and melodious voice that sounded like the cry of a oriole suddenly sounded. It was the purple clothed lady who looked at Du Xi who was standing to the side in a blink of an eye, and spoke.
"Miss, ten people have been invited, nine have come, and eight have already won." Du Xi slightly bowed, and quickly replied.
"There"s one more person that didn"t come? "Who?" The purple-dressed woman"s face was covered with a black veil, and one couldn"t see the expression on her face. However, her pair of willow leaf-like eyebrows were already slightly furrowed.
"Ye Ze!" Du Xi spat out the two runes with a very low voice, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
"It"s him?" The purple-dressed woman narrowed her eyes.
"Even though he is only a Stage Four Martial Master, his strength is extremely strong. That day, he easily killed six Stage Five Martial Master s, and from my guess, his true strength is probably not inferior to Gu Ying, Tang Long and the rest who are at the peak of the fifth step. His chances of entering the top three of Martial Compet.i.tion is extremely high. He is a descendant of the Spear Saint Ye Chongshan, and at such a young age, he already has a strength that surpa.s.ses his cultivation. Furthermore, he"s a Weapon Refiner, with a lot of potential. "
"In time, it"s not impossible for another Spear Saint to appear. If we befriend him now, there won"t be any losses for us Star Ocean Commerce. However, she didn"t expect that he still hadn"t appeared up until now. Could it be … "Huh?" Before he finished speaking, Du Xi suddenly said in a low voice, he stared straight ahead, his eyes revealing a look of astonishment.
